It’s extremely important that we overcome the rage (after those fully justified 5 minutes) and take coordinated and reasoned action, because this kind of attacks on encryption, depicting it as immoral or unpatriotic or irresponsible, is only starting, and it is a coordinated, well funded and professionally run campaign. This is just one of many aspects (fake grassroots, astroturfing), I expect many many more to come, more or less coincidentally, all in a rather short amount of time, conveniently accompanied by “shock-factor” news articles where the inability to break proper encryption results in kids or puppies getting killed and captured on camera, or some terrorist carrying out an attack - see the San Bernardino iPhone case. All the while lawmakers constantly try to slip shit into regulations and trade treaties. It’s very important we collect and organize and maintain a massive list of counter-evidence and counter-arguments because these attacks won’t stop.
